Hi Gang,
Should we consider about passing a flag - OCFS2_LOCK_NONBLOCK to 
ocfs2_cluster_lock. Otherwise a cluster locking progress may be waiting 
for accomplishment of DC, which I think violates _NO_WAIT_ semantics.

Thanks,
Changwei.

If ocfs2 is a local file system, we should not wait for any condition, but for a
cluster file system,
we cannot avoid this totally according to the current DLM lock design, we need
to wait for a little to get lock for the first time.
Why do we not use OCFS2_LOCK_NONBLOCK flag to get a lock?
since this flag is not stable to get a lock no matter this lock is occupied by
other nodes, or not.
If you use OCFS2_LOCK_NONBLOCK flag to get a fresh lock, you possibly fail or
success, depends on when the lock acquisition callback happens.
So, I think DLM_LKF_NOQUEUE flag should be more matched to _NO_WAIT_ semantics.
we always get a fresh lock successfully, always failed if the lock is/was
occupied by other nodes.
This flag can give us a consistent locking behavior.

Thanks
Gang
